hotori on DJI Osmo Action 4 Standard Combo $294.78 ($287.41 eBay Plus) Delivered @ Sydney Mobiles eBay Store

hotori on DJI Osmo Action 4 Standard Combo $294.78 ($287.41 eBay Plus) Delivered @ Sydney Mobiles eBay Store

That's not really the point being made. VRAM is just a nasty catch to kneecap these GPUs. Even a laptop 5070 will easily want more VRAM so…

Naigrabzo on [eBay Plus] Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16GB GDDR6 $1245 Delivered (Excl. NT) @ smarthomestoreau eBay

9070XT is depending on game avergae 20% faster. The 12GB 5070 is what really turned me off. 1440p high/ultra can go over 12GB on a couple…

geoffreyhunter on [Prime] UGREEN 130W Nexode Power Bank 20000mAh 72Wh 3-Port with Smart Display $88.17 Delivered @ UGREEN via Amazon AU

Charges using USB PD over type C. So any phone charger pretty much preferably a 65W or higher one for max speed.

DanielP2 on Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 9070 16GB GDDR6 Graphics Card $1049 Delivered ($0 VIC/SYD/ADL C&C) @ Centre Com

Yeah undervolting likely won't impact temperatures as it will just ramp up clock speed to use the now spare power. So if current temps ok…

cromangon on XFX Swift Radeon RX 9070 XT Dual Fan Gaming Edition 16GB GPU $1139 + Delivery ($0 to Metro/ VIC C&C) @ Scorptec

Thermals don't really seem to be much of an issue with any of the 9070XT. Generally it's the 330-340W power limit that caps you. The main…

stimutacs on ASRock Radeon RX 9070 XT Taichi 16GB OC Graphics Card $1299 + Delivery ($0 VIC C&C) @ Scorptec

They draw between 300-360W depending on undervolts/OCs etc. So 850W probably plenty.
